The Lord is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. Psalm 98:9

This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14

Loving and merciful God, we are grateful to be called your children and reminded of our call to be faithful disciples. Help us to share your love and mercy with all whom we meet in these troubled times, where greed, deceit, and self-centeredness have a stronger hold than generosity, honesty, and selflessness. We ask for your guidance as we seek to manifest your presence in this dark world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
